vitality.
DOUBLE AND TRIPLE STRENGTH.
When the skin is very tough and hard
and the folicle is apparently effectually
closed, the Single strength will sometimes
fail to reach the papilla; in such cases the
Double or Triple strength should be used in

ternately.

SAM.

a horse or dog which has been
trained to point where he seems able
to do his own thinking always deserves
honorable mention and remembrance.
A traveller in North Carolina gives his
experience with a colt, which seemed
to know more than enough to "pass
the time of day." He was monde
script beast, about fourteen hands high,
of dun-brown color, and with coat as
shaggy as spaniel's. He looked as if
he had not been combed since he was
born, and even through his rough coat
i could count every rib in his body.
But he had an eve which showed there
was spirit within him; large and lus-
trous, it was also gentle and coquettish.
i stepped up to him, and, patting him
on the neck, asked his name of the
landlord. SAM" he answered; and
he knows it. Bid him good morning."
| did so, and instantly the colt bowed
his head and lifted his right fore foot,
which | took in my hand and shook
gently. "Now talk to him and see if
he doesn't understand YOU" "Sam,"
l asked, I" do you want to 90 with me ?"
Sam bowed his head in assent. eff /
l"hO Jou dlOHS, VIII YOU pclldNe llke d
gentleman ?'' Another bow was the
prompt reply. Now ask him some
thing that requires no foran answer"
" Are you afraid to swim the river ?''
He shook his head instantly, but think
ing he might not have understood me,
and seeing the advantage of having the
wild steed fully pledged to good beha-
vior. / changed the form of the pre-
vious question evil you run away
with me and break my neck ?" A
shake of the head, twice repeated, was
the prompt reply. Then put my arm
around his neck and he put his face
against mine, and stroked my beard in
a fondling manner. "You and i are
going to be good friends, SAM" said,
patting his head affectionately. In
stantly he nodded very decidedly, by
way of affirmation. i concluded that
he had been trained to distinguish be-
tween questions meant to be answered
by Eyes " or no " from the infections
of the voice. Even with that possibil.
ity his intelligence seemed something
marvellous.

Queer COasting in MADEIRA.

There is a church at Funchal, near
two thousand feet above the level of
the sea. George determined to visit it
the next time he was allowed to go
ashore. Accompanied by his friend, he
went to a stable to hire horses to ride
up the bill. After some delay in max
ing bargain, they were seated in their
saddles. Each horse was attended by
buriqueiro," or horseboy, and as
soon as they were ready each burri-
gueiro seized the tail of his horse and
shouted little Portuguese command.
Away they went at brisk pace, the
boys following. Coming to compare
lively level place in the road, they
struck into run, trying to see if they
could shake these boys off. They did
not succeed, for the little fellows chung
to the horses tails, and never thought
of letting 60 or giving up. 1t was
nearly three miles to the church by the
way they went, and in some places the
road was so steep that there was steps
cut for the horses to place their feet.
The horses walked up very rapidly, and
in little more than half an hour were at
the church. They sent their horses
back to the stables, for they were to go
down in a quite different way. The
view from the church steps comprises
all the town, the harbor and the broad
Atlantic. But George was too much
excited at the thought of descending
the hill to care much about the view,
and he hurried his friend to the sledge-
stand near by. Here he selected his
sledge, which is made of willow, stoutly
braced and placed on runners. With
one attendant on each side and one be-
hind, every one holding on with a
leather thong in his hand, the sledge
was started. They dashed down the
steep way as boy slides down hill in
winter, and the skillful attendants
guided the sledge, no matter how fast
it went, with dexterity that has often
surprised older and more experienced
travellers than George. Down they
went with fearful rapidity, turning
corners without upsetting, but with
long slides to leeward, always going on,
with many an exclamation from George,
who could not feel quite safe while fly
ing at so furious rate. In nine min
utes they were at the foot of the hill
more than two miles from the church.
George thought that this beat all the slid
ing down hill that he had ever imagined,
and he would gladly have walked back
for the sake of another slide if he could
have found any one to 60 with him.

probably is In condition somewhat re-
sembllng that of the earth during the
warm, rainy epoch which witnessed the
growth of that mighty vegetation which
formed the coat measures. Mars, on the
other hand, presents the appearance of
a world much older than our
earth. The air and water have, to great
degree, been absorbed; whereas, on the
earth the proportion of land to water is
four to one; on Mars these proportions
are reversed. The barometic is estimat-
ed to be only four inches. While Venus
represents past stop of the earth, Mars
is, no doubt, a picture of what the earth
shall one day be. With its thin atmos-
phere and extreme variations of tempera-
ture, it seems scarcely creditable that man
could now maintain himself on this plan
ct. The moon is entirely devoid of an
atmosphere, and therefore incapable of
supporting life.
We may, therefore, say, as the result of
our present knowledge of the earth's
neighbors, that while Mars may have been
capable of supporting human life in the
past, and Venus may in the future, at the
present time there is not one upon which
man could live for single hour.

that this industry should remain in a

that we spend $2OO,O00,OOG annually in

tion of which could be grown at home
should stimulate American enterprise in a
new direction. Many experiments have
been made with sugar beets and sorghum

the one beet enterprise in California, no
permanent success has been achieved.

MhY He Married Her

A Vienna paper relates the following
anecdotes of the artist Amerling. One
day he met a rare beauty and boldly
spoke to her. She turned away without
answe, ing ,whersupon he remarked. II am
the painter Ane rling, and would like to
paint your portrait on account of your
beauty" She gently declined the honor,
whereupon he remarked, II must paint
you even though l have TO marry you
frst."Four months later, the beauty whose
mother was Spanish, was his wife, and
four months later divorce followed
The saddest thing about her was," he
remarked, ''tbat she did hot take the
slightest interest in my art work. L be-
lieye she has never looked at the pictures
on my walls" Amerling was noG fond
of teaching his art, but one day lady
appeared with girl and asked if he
would not instruct her, He said no but
added that if she wished to sit in a
corner and watch him working, she might
do so. For a number of days the lady
came with the girl and Amerling did not
pay the slightest attention to them, till
one day he discovered by chance that
the elderly lady was the Princess Chris
tine of Saxony, mother of King Carlo
Alberto.
